Changing Mongol/Jurchen invasion of China success chances

[Cyrusfusion]

I'm new to this, so I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place to put this topic, but I'd like to alter the game files so that the chances of a successful Mongol/Jurchen invasion of China will be zero, effectively ensuring that the culture of the off-map Chinese empire will remain Han in all scenarios, unless the player invades with their own realm. Can this be done by a casual file editor, and if so, how? Thanks.

There is easier way to do it. You can just delete this invasions You will still be able to invade it, if you want, but unless you succeed in it and place your dynasty on Chinese throne, offmap dynasty will remain chinese and taoist even if they change ( through civil war for example)

In "events/mongol_events.txt",
find something like "set_status = china_mongol_invasion" and comment it out.
You still have a little chance to have non han culture China. It's scripted in JD related events.

Any text editor like Notepad works, however Notepad++, Visual Studio Code or a powerful source code editor recommended.
